- 29. The Answer is ???? • Even in a fairly large sample set, priorities are unclear • Priorities are in motion • If you’re frustrated trying to talk to someone about succession, you’re not alone • This research positions you to perhaps ask better questions 29HA&W Educational Material
- 30. Some Personal Observations • Planning is not a big part of Southern culture, especially in the older generation • Preserving “legacy” less a facet of Southern culture • Less desire to “support” children • The Baby Boomer aging thing is overplayed • Over time we should see more intrafamily succession 30HA&W Educational Material
